What are vessel kits? What are the advantages? Can I customise them?

We highly recommend that you purchase vessel kits for use with our standard jacketed lab reactors (Reactor-Ready, Reactor-Ready Duo, Reactor-Ready Pilot or Lara).

They ensure that you have the key vessel accessories.

Vessel kits include the vessel (with sidearm couplings), a PTFE stirrer and a PTFE Pt100 temperature probe both of an appropriate size for the vessel, and an adapter for securing the Pt100 in the lid.

Standard shape Reactor-Ready and Lara vessel kits (discontinued) used to include an anchor stirrer. Process shape Reactor-Ready and Lara vessel kits, plus Reactor-Ready Pilot vessel kits, include a turbine stirrer. These stirrer shapes suit the majority of customers.

Vessel kit components are set and cannot be customised.

Nonetheless, the full range of stirrer shapes – anchor, turbine and retreat curve – are available to purchase separately for every vessel volume and shape.
